In this first phase, our job is to pay for access to a technology that we have fun with and are passionate about, I think a youtuber talking about AI has a better chance than us to make money.
Now, in statistics four million gpts, with the promise that this is profitable, in my analogy is the promise of earning something for which we pay with that expectation, we all play here, and the only one who earns real money is OpenAI, we are children playing with this.
Now, when you work directly with the Api, the idea is very different, you pay for tokens that you can offer to the user, at this point the ethics that only applies to the gpt of the store are no longer valid and you can create chat bots with explicit sexual content for example, and that is the business model of many developers who deal directly with the API.
The net business is to buy tokens and offer them at a higher price.
